Education in Video
The best online video collection of primary-source footage for teacher training

More than 1,000 video titles totaling 750+ hours of teaching demonstrations, lectures, documentaries, and primary-source footage of students and teachers in actual classrooms give your education students a way to observe the intricacies of behavior, tone, facial expression, and body language that define effective teaching styles. The collection's wealth of course, study, and discussion guides; assessment checklists; and themed playlists give your education faculty ready-to-use teaching tools.
About Education in Video
As any student of education will tell you, it's one thing to read about education theory in the abstract. Putting it all together and making it work in the classroom is something else entirely. The videos in this collection let students of education watch and learn from hundreds of experienced professionals in a wide variety of settings and circumstances. In-depth and special-topic videos give both new and experienced teachers tools for further honing their knowledge and skills and help education faculty link abstract theories to practical, real-world examples.
Covering hundreds of special topics and themes and with videos representing many different teaching and learning conditions, this collection offers students the most comprehensive survey of the teaching profession available, including footage of classrooms outside of North America. While most teachers log a number of hours in teaching clinics and classroom internships, their exposure to a diversity of schools, geographic regions, classroom types, teaching approaches, and student populations is limited. With Education in Video, students can access the most diverse array of learning environments imaginable.
Among the video titles targeted for inclusion are the films most frequently used in university-level education programs, such as A Visit to a Motivated Classroom; Aggression in School; Assessing Diverse Populations; Teaching the Adolescent Brain; Integrating Media into the Classroom; Charter Schools that Work; Educational Innovation Around the World; The Montessori Method; Mathematics Assessment; and Learning in Context: Probing the Theories of Piaget and Vygotsky.
